Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a light metal piston for internal combustion engines which has a pair of steel inserts cast-in on the inside of the piston skirt in order to control thermal expansion of the piston skirt, and to a method of making the same.
  • this type of piston has a crown, a skirt and a pair of gudgeon pin bosses, and a pair of inserts made of a material of lower thermal expansion than that of the light metal, such as steel, and shaped so that at least part of the insert conforms to the inside shape of the piston skirt, whereby to form a bi-metallic element with the light metal of the piston in order to control the expansion of the piston skirt, when the piston is heated during engine operation, each insert having a pair of bands extending around the inside of the piston skirt from the region of the gudgeon pin boss, and the bands of said pair being joined by a connecting portion of the insert in the region of the gudgeon pin boss.
  • the mold core for the piston is normally divided into several pieces, so that the mold core can be freely taken out from the piston casting after the molten metal solidifies, even if the piston inside has under-cut portions or if there is such engagement of setting pins and holes of the inserts.
  • the mold core In case of squeeze casting process, the mold core must be of one piece, because a very high pressure on the molten metal would press the melt into every gaps between the divided mold core pieces, which would hinder the mold core from taking out from the piston casting. Thus, it is impossible to apply such setting pins for casting pistons with steel inserts by squeeze casting process.
  • a light metal piston for the internal combustion engines has a crown, a skirt and gudgeon pin bosses, and a pair of inserts made of a material of lower thermal expansion coefficient than that of the light metal, such as steel sheet material.
  • Each inserts has a pair of bands being joined by a connecting portion of the insert in the region of the gudgeon pin boss.
  • the bands extend circumferentially away from the gudgeon pin boss so as to control thermal expansion of the piston skirt.
  • the free ends of the bands have bent portions which are bent inwardly by the angle of about 90 degrees.
  • the grooves are provided to accept the bent portions of the inserts.
  • the inserts are pressed against the mold core and the inner faces of the bent portions snap at the grooves on the mold core, whereby to sustain the inserts firmly in the grooves by the elasticity of the steel inserts, when a molten metal is poured into the mold cavity.
  • the piston 1 has a crown 1a, ring groove bands 1b, 1c and 1d around the periphery of the crown 1a, and a skirt 1e integrally connected to the crown 1a.
  • the piston 1 has a pair of gudgeon pin bosses 1f, 1g which are formed so as to extend inwardly from the piston skirt 1e and which are connected to the crown 1a by a pillar on the piston skirt 1e. Bores 1h, 1i to receive the gudgeon pin are formed in the bosses 1f, 1g respectively.
  • the piston 1 is made of light metal, for example, aluminium alloy or magnesium alloy, and is provided with a pair of inserts 2, 2 made of sheet steel, extending circumferentially away from the gudgeon pin bosses 1f, 1g, in order to control thermal expansion of the piston skirt 1e which results from the heating of the piston 1 from room temperature to its operating temperature in an engine.
  • the inserts 2, 2, shown in Figs. 3 and 5 consist of a pair of bands extending circumferentially around the inside of the piston skirt 1e, and a connecting portion joining the two bands.
  • each band 2b, 2c is bent inwardly by an angle of about 90 degree.
  • the radial length of the bent portions 2b, 4a should not be less than the thickness of the insert, because the bending of the insert becomes difficult and the holding force of the bent portions 2b, 4a during casting becomes weaker.
  • the maximum radial length of the bent portions 2b, 4a should not exceed 10 times the thickness of the insert 2, because the holding force of the bent portions 2b, 4a does not increase any more and the snapping of the insert 2 at the mold core becomes more difficult.
  • the vertical length of the bent portions 2b can be varied depending on the circumstances, for example only a part of the free end can be bent to ease the bending operation.
  • the grooves 3a, 3a are provided to accept the bent portions 2b, 2b of the insert 2.
  • the inserts 2, 2 are pressed against the mold core 3 and the inner faces 2d of the bent portions 2b, 2b snap it at the grooves 3a, 3a on the mold core 3, whereby to sustain the inserts 2, 2 firmly on the mold core 3 by the elasticity of the steel inserts 2, 2, and a molten metal is poured into the mold 3 to form the piston 1.
  • Fig.5 shows a second preferred embodiment of the insert 4 according to the present invention which is identical with that of Fig. 3, except that the entire vertical length of the free end is bent inwardly.
  • this method of holding the inserts on the mold core can be applied to cast pistons by gravity die casting or squeeze casting, but it is more advantageous to apply it to the squeeze casting process, because conventional method of holding the inserts on the mold core during casting cannot be applied economically to the piston production.
